Burdened Aerialist

Creature — Human Pirate

When this enters the battlefield, create a Treasure token. (It's an artifact with ", Sacrifice this artifact: Gain one mana of any colour.")

Whenever you sacrifice a token, this gains flying until end of turn.

Changes to be made:

Aviation Pioneer for Aspiring Aeronaut : Same effect for lower CMC. Flying blockers can be a weak point for this deck.

Burdened Aerialist for Wall of Runes : Trading filtering for treasure production, adding another potential combo piece to the mix.

Inspiring Overseer for Skyscanner : Same effect for same CMC with lifegain attached.

Mulldrifter for Search Party Captain : Better digging option with the upside of being able to be evoked if in a pinch. SPC being dependent on attackers is good for when Abdel has made enough tokens, not great in your opening hand though.

Soul's Attendant for Dwarven Priest : Better long term lifegain option with a lower CMC.

Stonehorn Dignitary for Watertrap Weaver : Why tap an opponents creature when you can stop them from attacking at all? Yes they will be able to use their remaining creatures as blockers, No Abdel doesn't care when he attacks with 100x 10/10 soldiers.

Watcher for Tomorrow for Augur of Bolas : Better digging option with less chance to whiff.

Pristine Talisman for Manalith : Can give infinite lifegain when Abdel is in a blinking loop, and this deck doesn't necessarily need the mana fixing.

Ephemerate for Teferi's Time Twist : Far better value, lower CMC, and returns Abdel immediately rather than at the end of the turn.

Settle Beyond Reality for Voidwielder : Another blink loop option with a hard exile mode for opponents creatures, better all around for the same CMC.

Reality Acid for AEthersnipe : Hard removal for less mana.

Fellwar Stone and other two cmc rocks will replace the three cmc ones over time to lower the curve even further.

+4 Burdened Aerialist

+4 Azure Fleet Admiral

-4 Deadeye Tormentor

-4 Deadeye Rig-Hauler

Azure Fleet Admiral is better than the Rig-Hauler whose ETB is situational - You can always get a card off Monarch and if they hit you it becomes unblockable. It can also benefit from other decks playing Monarch.

Burdened Aerialist is better than the Tormentor whose ETB is situational and it might not always trigger. Yes you can cost the opponent a card sometimes but the Aerialist will always get you a treasure token and can always gain flying. It also benefits from treasures created by the Dire Fleet Hoarder.
